    Rob is the master, listen to his advice and delete your account.

    I got facebook to connect with family and old friends. I wouldn't want to delete it.

    I might just start posting music videos like Jesus Christ Pose, Heart Shaped Box and a Bad Religion song called Come Join Us. Anything to offend him lol.

    This is an awesome idea.

    I'm so pissed off because I hate when people think I need religion, do I have a sign saying save me lord or something on my head. This guy would be the son my mother never had lol (she's very religious).

    I really don't see why you can't just unfriend him. That solves the problem without you having to leave Facebook. If he asks you about it just be honest and say your beliefs are not aligned and that while you're sure he's a nice guy you are travelling on different paths.

    Gah! Why care? Do you think his opinions are worthier than yours? If yes, why - and if not, then release that unnecessary and draining worry.

    Take a deep breath and realize you are yours.

    And if you can't, find assistance - please - to help get you there.

    Do your own beliefs mean nothing to you? I'm generally shy and have a pathological fear of conflict but my views on religion are something I will stand up and defend. It is he who is in the wrong if he tries to force his views on you so I highly doubt he would want to cause a public scene about it. Some things are worth taking a stand for

    They do, I'm just non-confrontational.

    Most people aren't confrontational.

    Anyway, best of luck. Find your way (or as Puscifer says, find A way - it's there, so hope you can open yourself to what YOU need to do), with or without whatever sage advice has been given.

    Take it or not, find help or not, confront or not. Just face yourself and embrace or improve on what you (choose to) see.

    Believe me, nobody could be less confrontational than me but even I have limits. I guess you haven't found yours yet...

    You worry too much. I'm a middle child. Believe me, I get the people pleasing thing and the trying to smooth everything out to avoid confrontation. Sometimes you have to pull up those boots and not give a shit. Sometimes you have to care about you. You know what? That is okay.

    Going for the religious in name of titles, here are a few:

    The Cash version of Personal Jesus is something else (in a good way). Manson's too.
